# Lynn Water & Sewer Commission Meeting | November 9, 2026

The Lynn Water & Sewer Commission meeting on November 9, 2026, covered water and wastewater operations and capital projects. The Commission discussed the CSO 005 sewer-separation project and two Stantec amendments: Amendment 10, for preliminary design of Phase 2 and Clean Water SRF support, with a not-to-exceed cost of $938,525; and Amendment 11, with a stated not-to-exceed cost of $1,993,705, though its scope is unclear in the transcript. A motion to approve Amendment 10 was seconded and received affirmative votes from the commissioners recorded as present. Although both amendments were presented for consideration, the transcript does not capture a motion or vote on Amendment 11. Staff also reported that Phase 1 permitting had advanced and the 90% design submittal was expected by the end of November. An estimated $8.5 million cost for an Alice Street tie-in was discussed, but no approval was recorded.

Operational and financial discussions included lead-pipe repairs, storage-tank work, dam removal, sewer separation, and wastewater-plant repairs. A shortage of liquid oxygen from Messer required supplemental supply from Linde at about five times Messer’s price; staff noted the plant now has a second supply source as backup. The finance discussion raised possible future reviews of water-meter testing, municipal water billing, the 1990 intermunicipal agreement for wastewater costs, fees, and leasing space on Commission property; no related votes or spending decisions were recorded. The Commission also approved the prior meeting minutes and adjourned.
